Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Pro-Logic Cast-Iron Aebleskiver Pan
Customer Review: It's a hit with the whole family!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Logic brand pan, because it was clear that the wells on this one are larger than many of the other brands except perhaps the Aunt Else 9-well pan.
I made the Williams-Sonoma batter recipe and chunked cold butter into 1/4" cubes. For each new batch of ebelskiver, we'd throw a butter chunk into each well, let it melt, then fill with batter. Instead of turning them completely over like a pancake, rotate the half-shell of cooked batter up 90 degrees, then sideways 90 degrees, then finally over so the original 'down' side is up on the top. They come out perfectly round, unlike many other pictures which are kind of "flattish round."
The Williams-Sonoma recipe was perfect; they are deliciously light and fluffy. (I did substitue milk + plus lemon juice + about 2 tbsp. heavy cream, as I didn't have 1.75 cup of buttermilk.) In spite of that, the consistency was perfect. We tried a number of variations with one recipe of batter: plain, choc chips in the middle, sprinkling the batter with cinnamon and chopped pecans before rotating (so the cin. and pecans ended up in the middle), spooning in a teaspoon of peach jam, etc. The only problem was when the jam leaked onto the pan, so do jam-filled ones last.
We used pancake syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream as toppings. All were good!! BTW, we figured each ebelskiver was probably about the equivalent of a 4 inch diameter pancake.
This is a WINNER--they rotated perfectly on the first try--no problems with sticking at all!!
Customer Review: Aebleskiver pan
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fine sturdy pan. The instructions weren't really clear - I didn't know if I was supposed to use it in an oven or on a stove top. A tried a couple recipes and then settled on a recipe for baked donuts made on the stove top. A couple weeks after I purchased this through Amazon it was featured for half price (a special) at one of the upscale kitchen/dishes/glassware/condiments stores and websites.Customer Review: Breakfast Heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful pan. First, I looked at the non-stick version offered by another brand, but I didn't really want a non-stick version because I don't think pancakes taste as good when they are cooked on a nonstick surface. Also, in my experience, non-stick coating tends to peel after a while.
When I found this cast-iron version, I bought it right away. The ebelskivers come out perfectly if you baste each well with a tiny bit of butter before adding the batter. The first time I used the pan, it was a bit of a disaster because I had to learn how to flip the cakes, but the second time I made them, I got the hang of it.
The cakes really are superb in this cast-iron ebelskiver pan. This pan will last a lifetime--many happy Sunday morning breakfasts to come!
On a side note--I recommend purchasing the book, "Ebelskivers" by Kevin Crafts. The entire book is devoted to tasty ebelskiver recipes.
Customer Review: Addictive Christmas Treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this pan to enjoy aebelskiver for the Christmas season. The pan is perfection and our first aebelskivers were amazing. We served them with mulled wine & red fruit jam. We just used a yeast-raised Belgian waffle batter to which we added cinnamon, cardamom and mace. Nothing stuck because we sprayed it with a little Pam - and the pan made cookbook-picture treats immediately. The aebelskivers didn't even have a chance to cool. We devoured them instantly. Highly recommended and highly addictive!!! Pan very easy to clean too. Customer Review: Works Just as Promised
Summary: 5 Stars
I was promised a aebleskiver breakfast all I had to do was find the aebleskiver pan. I got tired of trying to explain what an aebleskiver was to various sales people so I went to Amazon and just a few days later a box shows up at my front door. The pan was just what it said it would be, out of the box and a quick wash and it was cooking breakfast. I try to be a little skeptical with ratings especially highly rated items but in this case they were very accurate. I plan on many years of use from this wonderful little piece of cast iron.
